How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the appliance before accessing internal ducts and fans.
- Check fan operation: Listen near the ice compartment for fan noise. If silent, access and test the Bosch ice compartment fan motor and replace if faulty.
- Inspect air ducts: Remove covers to check for ice or debris blocking the air channel to the ice maker. Clear obstructions.
- Check damper (if equipped): Some models use a small damper door to control cold air to the ice compartment. Verify it opens when cooling is needed; replace the damper if stuck.
